PhD Dissertation Defense - Joseph McKay

Mechanical Engineering A Doctor of Philosophy Dissertation Defense Entitled: Thermal emission and waveguiding via collective localized surface phonons in chains of polaritonic resonators By: Joseph McKay Date: 12/09/25 Time: 12:00 pm Location: MEK 3350 Committee Members: Prof. Mathieu Francoeur (Advisor) Prof. Bart Raeymaekers Prof. Tianli Feng Prof. Sameer Rao Prof. Keunhan (Kay) Park   Project Summary Spectral and directional thermal emission can be engineered by capitalizing on polaritonic dielectric particles of silicon carbide (SiC) and silicon dioxide (SiO2). These particles support localized surface phonons in the infrared, which can couple to form traveling collective localized surface phonons (cLSPhs), enabling spectrally and directionally selective thermal emission. Polaritonic dielectric particles act as resonators that serve as building blocks for thermally emitting dielectric metasurfaces and thermal infrared radiation waveguides. Ultrasound-directed self-assembly is a promising route for fabricating dielectric metas… Campus Wide Event: Yes. Tuesday, December 9, 2025, 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM.

PhD Proposal Defense - Munawar Jawad

Mechanical Engineering A Doctor of Philosophy Proposal Defense Entitled:  Design and Engineering of Integrated Microfluidic Platforms for Advanced Diagnostics By: Munawar Jawad   Date: December 9th, 2025 Time: 3:00 PM Location: SMBB 5100   Committee Members:  Dr. Bruce Gale (Chair) Dr. Roseanne Warren Dr. Jungkyu (Jay) Kim Dr. Himanshu Sant Dr. Hossein Montazerian   Project Summary  Diagnostic assays are fundamental to the detection, analysis, and monitoring of diseases. While recent technological advancements have enabled diagnostic platforms to provide precise and personalized healthcare, translational barriers such as high cost and operational complexity restrict their deployment in low-resource settings. This proposal introduces microfluidic solutions designed to overcome these challenges. This research outlines the development of cost-effective microfluidic platforms capable of performing diagnostic assays or functioning as peripheral modules for high-throughput diagnosis. By minimizing instrument complexity, these systems add… Campus Wide Event: Yes. Tuesday, December 9, 2025, 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM.

PhD Proposal Defense - Erik Langlo

Mechanical Engineering A Doctor of Philosophy Proposal Defense Entitled:  Experimental and numerical investigation of shear-driven fracture in thermoset and thermoplastic tape-laminate end-loaded-split specimens By: Erik Langlo   Date:               12/11/25 Time:              10:00 AM Location:        3350 MEK Committee Members:  Dr. Michael Czabaj (Chair) Dr. Nelson de Carvalho Dr. Ashley Spear Dr. David Mollenhauer Dr. Endel Iarve   Project Summary  The use of polymer matrix composites (PMCs) fabricated using thermoset and thermoplastic resins has grown rapidly in recent decades for structural applications. This has driven the need for continuous development of new experimental and numerical methods to understand damage and failure behavior in PMCs. Most existing experimental methods were developed for thermoset composites (TSCs) due to their historically advantageous characteristics compared to thermoplastic composites (TPCs). However, recent manufacturing advancements have made TPCs increasingly attractive for new structural… Campus Wide Event: Yes. Thursday, December 11, 2025, 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM.

PhD Proposal Defense - Jacob M. Anderson

Mechanical Engineering A Doctor of Philosophy Proposal Defense Entitled: Flying by Feel: Information-Theoretic Supervised Learning of Rotorcraft 3D In-Proximity Effects for Sensorless Collision-Free Navigation and SLAM By: Jacob M. Anderson   Date/time: December 16th, 2025, 10:00-11:00 AM (Public portion) Location: MEK 3550 Committee Members: Kam K. Leang (Chair) Shad Roundy Edoardo Battaglia Marc Calaf Tucker Hermans   Project Summary  Hover-capable rotorcraft aerial vehicles (RAVs), such as quadrotors, are widely used in both civilian and military applications due to their simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and high maneuverability. Autonomous, collision-free flight and navigation through complex environments require sensors such as cameras, sonar, and LiDAR to detect and avoid obstacles. However, these sensors are bulky, heavy, power hungry, and they are not reliable or effective in “hard-to-see” environments where smoke, fog, dust, rain, or snow limit perception. A new “sensorless” method for obstacle detection and proximity esti… Campus Wide Event: Yes. Tuesday, December 16, 2025, 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM.

Biomedical Engineering Seminar - Dr. Andrew E. Anderson

Biomedical Engineering BIOENGINEERING ELEVATED TALK CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH, Mechanisms in Motion: Imaging, Morphometrics, and Modeling of Hip OA Pathophysiology,   Dr. Andrew E. Anderson, Professor and Division Chief of Research, Department of Orthopaedics, University of Utah, In person in SMBB 2650! There is growing consensus amongst orthopaedic practitioners that hip joint osteoarthritis (OA) is predominately the result of underlying anatomical deformities.  However, at present, it is not feasible to stratify risk of future hip OA based on the presenting anatomy alone. Notably, many individuals – from young adults to seniors – demonstrate abnormal hip anatomy, yet they do not have a history of hip pain, nor do they demonstrate characteristic thinning of cartilage. One of the persistent challenges toward identifying at risk patients is that hip anatomy is complex, which makes it difficult to objectively evaluate deformities.  Additionally, the location of the hip deep within the… Event Categories: Seminars.
